Thanks - seems to be working now - may have been a cache problem. However I have attempted to now write more than one variable to the text file and it only appears to be writing the first one.
Here is my PHP code <?php $filename = $_POST['filename']; $text1_Font = $_POST['text1_Font']; $text1_Size = $_POST['text1_Size']; if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) { echo "&message=Cannot open file&"; exit; } if (fwrite($handle, $text1_Font,$text1_Size) === FALSE) { echo "&message=Cannot write to file&"; exit; } fclose($handle); echo "&message=$text1_Font&$text1_Size&"; ?> Any ideas why the second variable is not getting written? This is my action script var vSender = new LoadVars(); var vReceiver = new LoadVars(); vSender.text1_Font = text1_Font; vSender.text1_Size = text1_Size; vSender.action = "write"; vSender.filename = "order2.txt"; vReceiver.onLoad = function(success) { trace ("onLoad function"); if (success) { trace("text writen to the text file:\n" + this.message); content_txt.text = this.message; } else { trace("error"); content_txt.text = "error"; } }; vSender.sendAndLoad("http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/clients/davehann/testpost .php", vReceiver, "POST"); Thanks Paul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Serge Sent: 25 August 2006 13:34 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Create a text file on server using PHPwithvariables from Flash This is working for me.
